M Coupe bumper problems...
So, by problem I mean I rolled into a curb the other day. There is a nice little spider web to compliment the scratches from bottoming out on my front bumper. Are there any splitters available for this car? Any easy way to fix such damage? Anyone know what a respray would cost?

typical respray will cost probably $300 ish for the bumper only. You get what you pay for. Might be more if they do all the work to remove the bumper. I'd personally remove the bumper myself and take it into them if that's the route you want to go.
The PO of my car knicked the front splitters a little bit. I am pretty careful, but seems easy to do considering the Z4 has such a long front clip. |

If the car i new t you, I say leave it be for a while. Until you get used to the long nose of the car, you're going to do it lots more times. I got all my practice in on my Z4 roadster, so I've managed to keep the M's bumper pretty nice. |

Sadly, I have had my car for six months. First time this happening though. Any suggestions? Maybe I can get the little fangs wrapped in CF or something...

Are the splitters on their website? I looked and didn't see splitters. Maybe I'm blind.

Or a CF splitter would be awesome as well.

I put the RPI skid plates on mine after my first scrape and they have saved me 10 times since. Whatever your fix is, I suggest the skid plates to protect future damage.
